“Freedom of information laws lead to wave of deadly bombings” – Stockholm or Mogadishu?
>As a result, the Swedish Tax Agency’s national registration data is open to anyone to access. While traditionally that required a phone call, in a digital world online services such as Eniro, Hitta and Mrkoll mean it takes little more than a second to find out the age, address, floor number and move-in date of pretty much anybody.
This sounds insanely invasive. Is privacy not a thing over there?
I’m surprised this hasn’t been more of a problem. Sounds like a stalker’s (and other criminals’) wet dream.
Must be a really high-trust society.
Immigration sure doesn’t seem so cool now
Rape capital of the EU has something new going on? OH!
the problem is not they can find someone easily to bomb him. that’s not the thing to solve.
is the existence in the country of the two of them.
How else can i interpret this headline that “freedom of information laws lead to wave of deadly bombings”
other than thinking that there are gangs who support freedom of information laws and gangs who oppose it, and they are bombing each other to death
Either Swedish people get violently radical over small things or that its something else that is leading to a wave of deadly bombings
The article mentions that Skatteverket (the Tax Agency) has a system for Protected Identities and Protected Addresses and works closely with our Social Services to relocate people and families in case of threats of danger.
As of 2022, Sweden’s total number of inmates was ~6200. In the whole country.
The gang violence recently, horrible as it is, is a statistical aberration due to a number of complex factors that have developed over decades. Kids in high schools give witness that they’re offered “jobs” through social media chats for up to €10’000 because they’re desperate for cash.
It can be anything from delivering fake ID-cards, gold to assassination of rival gang members. Like with any gang/vice, it starts small until it becomes more of a threat to you to leave and by then, you need to risk your life just to seek help.
so if these criminals did not know the address of the other criminals. would it not be more shooting on the street instead of targeted attacks. drive bys, more dead civilians?
I don’t remember phonebooks being that much of a problem in the past, is this very different?
The guardian needs to get a grip here. The issue isn’t the public addresses. The issue is a gang war being waged with high explosives and the entire gangs involved not having been locked up yet.
Seriously. The Swedish police need to work this case.. a tad harder.
The only thing left to revert these naive glittery rainbow-filled lefty minds is for these things to actually happen.
These laws have literally worked fine for centuries. The problem is not with these laws. The problem is with something that the Guardian is alluding to but not developing well in this article.
Is Sweden consulting with countries that have experience with toppling organized crime? Like the US, like Italy? Sweden can’t afford to fail – they will end up controlling gov agencies.
Mostly peaceful bombings
The Guardian are sweating bullets writing this article without saying who is doing all these bombings, and if it might be related to any sort of policies that have led to why there is a far right party in power now.
At this point it borders on disinformation to not say what policies have directly led to this and the impact they are having on domestic politics.
Nothing to see here, move on!
The entire article refuses to state who is responsible for those bombings, and it is not the native Swedes, Finns or Sami.
